Bisq not opening on windows [With solution] #3605
Comments
|
@devinbileck Do you think there is anything we can configure in install anywhere or the Windows build configuration to fix this problem? |
|
I will look into reproducing this and investigating a solution. |

Prior to starting the installation, check if the install location contains special characters and if so use a different default install location as well as display a prompt to the user providing additional details. This is in response to bisq-network#3605, for which a proper solution has yet to be found.

I am able to reproduce the issue, but have yet to find the cause. The exe exits shortly after launching it with a return code of 1 while attempting to read runtime\lib\modules. I have been unable to determine anymore than that. I am leaning towards this being an issue with javapackager. We can re-evaluate this issue once we move to a newer Java version with a newer javapackager tool. For now, I have updated the installer in order to mitigate and workaround this issue in #3642. |

* Implement installation path check on Windows Prior to starting the installation, check if the install location contains special characters and if so use a different default install location as well as display a prompt to the user providing additional details. This is in response to #3605, for which a proper solution has yet to be found. * Ensure the destination location dialog is always shown This resolves #552 * Show the Welcome dialog Rather then potentially being greeted with the newly implemented prompt on the destination location dialog if they have special characters in their install path, greet the user with the Welcome dialog when they initially launch the installer. * Reorder/group setup items logically
